Hi !! from H-Town

A transplanted Texan born in Connecticut many, many, many, many years ago.
In Houston since 1958 and got interested in The Ventures when Walk Don't Run first was on the radio. Between them and The Beach Boys, I began my love for the surf sound.
Took up guitar trying to pick out chords to the Ventures tunes and learned a little bit more from Play With The Ventures records.
On and off for a long time (mostly off) I "play-at" guitar, took a few lessons but the teacher didn't want to teach what I wanted to learn, so I picked at it. Wish I was better at it.
First guitar was a 1965 Wards special along with a Wards amp, got rid of that for a 1966 Gibson Melody Maker II SG and a 1966 Fender Deluxe Reverb amp. Sold both of those in 2011 and got a Fender Squire Strat and Fender Frontman 25R, now the Jay Turser Mosman and a Fender Champion 40 amp are in my possession.
